The Shrieyalty Plum.

The friends of A. f. Clatterbuck are
using his name very freely as the proba-
Bile candidate for sheriff on the republi-
can ticket. His wide acquaintance and
long residence make his name one which
is looked upon with favor, and his exper-
ience certainly fits him for the position,
should he be elected. For four years he
was deputy sheriff under Reel. and for
four years under Guitar, and he has
since been two years constable of Gar
ner township. His name has before been
within Il few votes of being placed on the
ticket, but he laid aside his claims for
others. His friends are many. and they
are urging his name with considerable
energy. There Is no doubt but that if
nominated he would prove strong man
to help pull the ticket through.
1t is understood that Sheriff Reel will
not accept of a denomination. 1t seems
conceded that Deputy Sheriff O'Neil
stands the best chance of any to get the
democratic nomination. He is one Of the
best officers the county ever had, and il
nominated would make it hot for his
republican opponent, The race promises
to be warm one, if the two named are
put up and it is safe to bet that neither
would be dlstanced.

been somewhat backward in
Joining The Club, as there have previously
been several clubs and organizations
formed in this city that have come to
naught. After they get glimpse of the
luxuriously furnished club rooms and see
the amount of money that has been ex-
pended in furnishing the same, they i'm

Preparir9 For the Prcstdent,

Upon invitation of Mayor Gronewcg a
number of prominent democratic citizens
met in the aldermanIc chamber at 730
o'clock last evening for the purpose of
making some arrangements for the re-
ception of President Cleveland upon his
visit to this city. There were present
about fifty gentlemen, among whom were
Ed. Campbell, jr., United States deputy
marshal.
The mayor at 8 o'clock called the meet
ing to order and said:
II have taken the libeSty of calling this
meeting for the purpose OF making proper
preparations for the reception OF Presl-
dent Cleveland on his visit to this city.

Mayor, Council Bluffs, Ia.-Dear Sir: 1 have

on behalf of the citizens of Council Bluffs to
visit that city during my visit to the west and
south and have carefully considered the pos
sibility OF its acceptance.
In determining the places among the many
to which have been invited where the lin
tied time at my disposal would permit me to
stop have been guided somewhat by de-
sire to meet the convenience or the largest
number OF people and as the ARRANGEMENTS
of the plans for the trip which cannot
be changed without interfering with the en-
tire schedule. will only permit me to remain
in your locality about an hour, 1t was deemed
best to make the stop in Omaha.
regret much that circumstances are such
as to prevent me from visiting Doth cities
and assure you the invitation from Council
Bluffs is none the less appreciated on ac-
count of the impracticability OF its accept
ance. Very truly yours,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The mayor said upon reception OF the
| above letter several gentlemen held a
consultation and thought it best to write
to Colonel Keatley in Washington, and
see if the president could not SO arrange
it that the presidential party could spend
an hour at least in this city, and IN re-

it would be best to try to head hin OIL
before he got to Omaha as he comes to
Omaha from st. Paul. He advocated
catching the party at the broadway de-
pot of the Northwestern railway and as
sure them that they would be returned to
the train in time to go to Omaha.
A committee composed of the mayor,
Alderman Lacy. F. NJ. Gauit, Judge
James, Postmaster Bowman and Alder

arrangements by which he could stop in
this city for an hour at least.
The mayor and Aldermen Wells and
Lacy are to 90 10 st. Louis and meet the
presidential party, while the balance OF
the committee are to find out the ar
rangements of the railroad company

Yesterday morning s. p Mac Connell,
of the Chicago Lumber company, took
forcible possession of Hotel Manawa. 1t
appears that Mac Connell went to Atchi.

builder of Hotel Manawa and if possible
do something towards completing the dc.
tails in settlement He hunted high and
low for the man of fame in Council Bluffs
Frank Clark. But to his utmost aston
ment Clark was unknown to the resi-
dents of Atchison. Even at the hotels no
trace of Clark or Lamphere could be
found. The residents had heard some
thing of proposed motor line
but no Clark. AS Frank Clark was u
name familiar to even the children of
Council Bluffs, MacConnell became dis
gusted and was about to give up his
hunt when he discovered the famous
builder of hotel Manawa and his friend,
MIR. Lamphere, who professed to be con-
nected with the building, of the motor
line in this city but who would now
the very fact that no one seems to think
there is motor line here.
1t was learned that Lamphere and
Clark, that being the proper position tor
their names to appear in print, were
really building a motor line in Atchison,
Lamphere being foreman and Clark
time-keeper of the grading gang.
Clark refused for some reason to accept
MacConnell's propositions and MacCon.
nell returned home on Tuesday and con-
cluded he d step into Hotel Manawa
quietly and be lord and master of all he
surveyed, even to the ground the hotel is
upon.
This blunt announcement NAV be dis
pleasing to some of Clarks smaller cred
itOrs, but for the time being, at least,
MacConnell and the Chicago Lumber
company have nine-tenths OF the law in
their hands-pOssesslOn.
Two watchmen have been placed
in possession of the hotel
and the building will be guarded night
and day. MIR. MacConnell has lien of
"a 600 upon the building as we'll as a land
contract for the land upon which the
hotel stands and chance for Il warranty

been paid for the land
Under existing circumstances. Mac
Connell could get no insurance upon the
hotel and he now hopes to be able to in
sure the place, as he has watchmen
there. BY so doing he also guards against
further damage by mischievOus persons.
What the plans are for his running the
hotel rs winter resort does not appear,
but as a hotel manager it is hoped he
will be successful.
Proceedings have been commenced ia
foreclose the lien upon the hotel but
when it will be reached in the district

Frank Clark has also entered suit

A Charley Ross Sewer,

The location of the sewer connection
with the city Jail seemed to "gitate most
everybody who went near the city Jail
or city building yesterday, as well as
all the aldrmen,. surveyors, engineers
and the sewer builders.
For some unaccountabe reason no con-
nectiOn could be found, although two
excavations over nine feet deep were
made where the engineers said the con-
nections were, as he knew by his mark
Many lockers on believed
there never had been any
outlet to the city Jail sewerage and some
of those about the building are now
under the same impression when they
think OF the loud stencil that has per
vaded the atmosphere.
AT last accounts. by telephone, Deputy
Marshal White said he had got Charlie
Nicholson to 60 with the patrol wagon in
search of the lost sewer connection and
in consequence it will PROBABLY turn up
to-day.

On the morning of August Policemen

horse to the top of the nearest sand hill
whence he could see Hughes running at
full speed across the open ground. Gee

tree. Then Gee galloped straight down
at the tree, but Hughes opened fire with
his rifle and then with revolver. Three
bullets grazed Gees head, and that sent
him to cover also. 1t was all up with
Hughes, though. The firing broug hit the
other policemen. These took shelter Off
at one side, and Hughes was unable to
keep out of Gees sight and theirs at the
same time. But he was game to the last,
and kept firing his revolver until a ball
from Gees rifle struck him in the lett

sentenced to a long term in prison, but
no one who knows him will say that his
career has been more than temporarily
checked.

simply hard luck. When the police came

In Uncle Sans Court.

In the federal court railway suits seem
to be at the front. The case of Walter l.
Smith, administrator, VS.. the Chicago e.
Northwestern railway, came to a sudden
end. In this case the suit was to recover
damages on account of the death of -.
SpOngenberg, who was killed while
coupling ears at Missouri Valley. 1t was
claimed that the cars were so loaded as
to leave the lumber projecting, and thus
causing the unfortunate man to be
caught, and that IN this the company was
guilty of neglect. The Judge. after the
evidence had been taken, instructed the
Jury to find for the defendant.
Yesterday wars taken up in the trial of a
somewhat similar case. Mary Poole, as
administrative, sued the Union Pacific
railway company, on account of the
death of her brother, James Devore, who
was killed in the yards here in 1888,
while coupling cars. The claim was
that the engineer backed up in snch a
rapid and reckless manner as to break
the link and cause the draw bars to
crowd by each other, thus catching De-
wore between the platforms and causing
his death.
